Frequently asked questions

A free, no-obligation conversation of about 20 minutes: by phone. We briefly discuss what is going on and whether we are a good match. Then you calmly decide whether to schedule an intake. No obligation.

No. You can schedule directly without a referral or diagnosis. ACT and art therapy are openly accessible also for mild complaints or a life question.

You get a first impression during the introductory conversation. ACT fits well if you notice that pure talking or "solving it rationally" is not getting you further and if you are open to experiential work with materials in your hands.

For young adults and adults who get stuck in stress, overstimulation, perfectionism, grief or life questions, aged 18 and over. You do not need a diagnosis. I do not work with children or families.

I trained as a psychosocial coach and as a psychosocial art therapist. I call my work therapy, because we also explore what lies underneath. If you are looking for a coach for stress, burnout or work pressure, you are welcome too: we work on what you want to change. Therapy is exempt from VAT, coaching is subject to VAT. In the introduction we look together at what fits what you are looking for.

An average program is 8 to 12 sessions of 60 to 75 minutes. During intake we align duration with your question, and we evaluate along the way whether we are on course. Shorter or longer is always possible in dialogue.

No. It is not about making art or pretty end results it is about what the making process shows you. Many participants have never drawn before and that very openness often works the strongest.

Then we say so to each other. The therapeutic relationship is decisive for the effect if it does not work, the therapy does not help. You can stop at any moment and I can refer you onward where needed.

I do not make diagnoses or treat psychiatric disorders. If I notice during the introduction or along the way that you need other or more specialised help, we will discuss that and I will think along about the next step, for example via your GP.

No. ACT en Verbeeld deliberately works outside the insured Dutch mental healthcare system no DSM diagnosis required, no mandatory data sharing with your insurer and you determine duration and frequency yourself. Other routes for reimbursement exist, such as via your employer.

Sometimes. Some employers have a vitality, training or development budget from which coaching and therapy can be reimbursed. Ask HR or your manager about the options. I can draw up a quote on letterhead for you.
